Recently our topic is Morphology.
In line with that I have a question.
1) HINTED
There are two morphemes here. HINT+ED..
My answer was HINT is a verb.
Yet according to my professor it is a NOUN.
2) PLAYERS
There are 2 morphemes here. PLAY+ERS.
However, PLAY in here is a verb.
Why can't that be a noun then?? How do you know that it is a verb? What is the rule behind it??
I told her to explain her answers to me. But she didn't give me clear answers.
If I cannot find the correct explanation on my own as soon as possible, then I will have to ask that JOURNALIST for English.
